One of Scotland's largest construction firms, McGregor Construction (Highlands), has been fined £9000 after a labourer was struck on the head by a 6m-long 44kg steel post while erecting a fence. The company had not taken account of slippery ground and a gradient at the site at Strontian in Argyll, Fort William Sheriff Court heard. Sheriff Douglas Small said he had discounted the fine for the firm's early guilty plea.
